the other interesting thing is it's sunday right now. in 2008 this would have been a day for early voting, and the obama campaign organized with a lot of african-american supporters to go straight from church on sunday and go out to vote. that's not the case this year. so what you're seeing today is obviously this suit that is in place, but there are also some elected officials who have found a loophole in this law. absentee ballots, you can go to florida in person, request your absentee ballot, turn around and turn it in in person. so it's kind of like early voting although the ballot is treated a little differently. the obama campaign concerned about early voting. they want to make sure anyone who wants to vote, can, because there are a number of people who support them but they are not necessarily reliable election day voters, african-american voters, latino voters. >> brianna, thank you so much from florida. let's go back to ohio now, the battleground state with paul ryan there now. >> i went to himiami, ohio. my friend is a guy who

>> right. i think the obama campaign feels good about their early vote operations across the country, but it's hard to say. to hogan's point, one of the things that may happen here and both campaigns have to deal with it, it disrupts voter contact. so the folks that go door to door, the folks making phone calls, that might be harder if lines go down. the other thing is polling. when these campaigns are looking at decisions over the next week, where to spend their resources, in a state like virginia or new hampshire or ohio, it may be hard to poll folks during the course of this week. in a sense you're operating in the dark. but i think overall the obama campaign feels good about where they are from an early vote standpoint. >> aaccoccording to politico th president has retain the lead. on the flipside we saw a slate of mixed state polls that took place over the weekend. 49/49, complete tie right there. the virginia "washington post" poll has obama hanging onto the four-point lead and philadelph

the reality is the onomic indicators right now are mixed. and you have a new obama ad on the air that's trying to feature the ones that are positive in order to increase the likelihood that you think about those as you ask whether or not the country is better off now than it would've been, had obama not been president. we were in a deep recession. and president obama's having the difficulty of having to make the argument that, "things are better than they would have been, had i not done what i have done." but they're still not what they ought to be. and that's a tough case for the incumbent. and governor romney's exploiting it every inch of the way. >> my favorite whopper was when paul ryan said that the reason that they don't want to say howt they will chan the loopholes is because they'll be attacked.h people will say mean things about them. and that democrats and republicans won't be able to work together.
